    I came from twoset. After having heard so much roasting of the viola, I just say it is a hauntingly beautiful and touching instrument. It has an intensity and melancholy I wasn't expecting

      What makes the viola special is that it can create it's own foundation of music, while delivering it's own melody... like two hands on a piano, one playing the music that fills your heart, while the other tells you a story to break it.
      All the violin has is a sweaty try-hard technically executed melody, and a constant need for backup to create music to help it's melody make sense

    Most people love and rave about the violin and violin music is beautiful, but there’s something that’s just a little bit... idk... better and more hauntingly beautiful about the viola. It’s my favourite of all the stringed instruments by far. Thank you for sharing with us.

      The viola is responsible for playing the alto section of an orchestra. It's a necessary instrument. An orchestra with only treble and bass clef would sound incomplete. Imagine a band without a bassoon or trombone (technically tenor clef). It wouldn't be the same because you are missing part of the story. Imagine a story where supporting characters are taken out. It would leave it dull. Yes, as violinists (myself included) we do make fun of the viola. However, I would never want someone to stop playing and I greatly appreciate them. Making fun of viola is more like a "who's better?" competition. Everyone always says themselves. Don't take it too seriously. I would hate to see a day where there was *any* orchestra with no violists. I hope videos like this continue to inspire young musicians to play the viola. An orchestra can't go without them, really.

    I don’t play an instrument and I’m torn between viola jokes and viola. I’ve decided to choose viola because it’s a beautiful instrument when the craftsmanship and playing is good. Your performance is enchanting. Not saying that I will oppose viola jokes very much because I like a good laugh occasionally, but I think I will advocate for the honour of violas when expected. I’ve also wanted to write a mystery book that incorporates classical music in the puzzle and maybe I’ll consider letting one of the main characters play the viola. Thank you for opening my eyes.
